Re: [ve-dev] VEP as basis of non-java dev tool

Hi Dave,

No problem at all on the turnaround time, actually i thought that was 
pretty fast!

What we're hoping to do is provide a GUI-based web development tool, 
specifically targeted to developers building web applications on top of 
our product.  The tool would need to generate simple html and the 
server-side-scripting (asp and/or jsp) necessary to communicate via our 
product's API.  The main goal is to provide as simple an interface as 
possible for our end-users/developers, as many tend to come from 
character-based development and may not be comfortable with full-fledged 
web development environments.

Thanks again,
Steve

I just realized that it looks like this message wasn't answered promptly. 
Please accept my apologies for that.

Can you provide more details?

A plan item for our next release is to document our APIs.  Until then, 
everything is marked as internal API and can change at any moment.

That depends on what you're trying to do.  If you can provide more detail, 
we 
can answer that question in better detail.
